I know some of the Half Life characters are modeled after real people. Did Valve go that route for the L4D characters too?

Probably. Valve's faces are usually pretty good compared to most games.

One of the best gif ever.
Thank you!
 
I am trying to download the demo and it isn't working. It is still accessible only for preorders?

I really just want to know who they modeled Zoey after. She's like, the hottest female videogame character ever

Like Hunter D said, same person they did for Chell. Alesia Gladwell is her name, and she's indeed pretty :D Though Chell doesn't look that cute as she does D:



Oh, and still no available PC codes? :D
 
I've played through the fucking demo like 10 more times tonight and it's been different EVERY SINGLE TIME. This game is fucking incredible.

This is going to be my GOTY.

Can anyone try this? (Can't launch the demos, tell me steam servers are busy or whatever :/)
 
Probably going to get to try the demo once before I go get Gears 2 today. Didn't have Live all day yesterday but finally downloaded the demo overnight.

so when is gamestop finall sending out the codes -___- ??

They did.

And this thread is the reason I gave up PC gaming. The demo worked A1 on 360, no hassle. I clicked, played, enjoyed, and then I played another round. Everything was working fine, lag free.

I dunno, it seems like everyone who just signed up without preordering legit got their codes yesterday, and everyone who did it legit got screwed :(

I signed up this morning on the GS website even though I should have been getting it anyway, we'll see what happens.

In the video game arena she has voiced many characters including: Nintendo's Krystal from Starfox, Knuckle Joe & Zero Suit Samus from Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Sly Cooper 2's Neyla & Carmelita and Zoey from Left 4 Dead.

She does the voice too? I thought Jen Taylor (Cortana) was Zoey's voice.

works, but it cant find any games. I dont think you can find anything that way, its just part of all source games. "no internet games that pass your filter settings" the only filter is left 4 dead.

EDIT: Ok scratch that, im an idiot. It doesnt work on 'internet games' but if you go to the custom tab like in the pic you CAN see all the servers
 
source is has weird perspective in fps mode. every gun except the gravity looks way to close and small.....


GRAVITY GUN AND PORTALS in this game goddammit valve the possibilities, i cant stop thinking.

The server browser works fine once you open it up in the dev console. All the games are listed under the 'custom' tab.
 
I really hope the stat tracking for this game is deep. Perhaps because it is just 2 small levels, but I am already a little bored with the demo. Once we all get pretty accustomed to the levels and the choke points, what will distinguish one team from another as far as performance? Will there be team rankings? I am just a bit concerned that after a few weeks, people will get a little bored with the Co-Op. I am very interested in seeing how the vesus mode works out.

After playing through the demo a couple times I was afraid that this game would be too repetitive, too rinse and repeat, just with different maps. But now I think otherwise. The director is really awesome at mixing it up. I've played through the demo at least a dozen times now, and each one ended up being a uniquely different experience than the others. The game does a great job of punctuating the action. So you'll go from waves of zombies to facing a boss to a combination of the two, etc. You'll never do the same thing for more than 30 seconds it seems.

Also, the game basically demands Advanced or Expert to be amazing. The more the odds are stacked against you, the more fun you have trying to overcome.

It's basically incredible as an action co-op and a pick-up-and-play. I can't wait for the final release!

EDIT: When does the demo go up for everyone else?

Game is freaking awesome. I'm also getting the "red bar" ping on pretty much every server, I wonder why?

A group of buddies and I played through Advanced, 4-player co-op, all in the same room :D That my friends, is perfect.

And yeah, the Director is good. It basically works in waves, as a movie does. Huge ramp up of action, let you down a bit, relax for a minute, then works back up.

What this means is that if you're the kind of person that turtles -- you know, "okay, good, this room is clear, let's lay back for a bit and talk strategy" -- you're screwed. The game just spawns guys to come after you. Your best bet is to actually forge ahead because the more time you're on the map, the more time you're getting attacked.

As for me, normal is too easy. Advanced is about right. Expert is fun and pretty hard. Beatable but at this point just a little more frustrating than Advanced. I expect that to change as I play through the game more :)
 
Holy shit, the game is absolutely incredible. The Director is awesome... each playthrough is never the same. This is one of the best multi-player / co-op games ever, imo, and all we've played is the demo campaign mode. 100% must-buy for me. Btw, no lag with the 360 version at all... butter-smooth.
 
Finally got into a server. HOLY SHIT. So freakin amazing. I played on Expert and the tension level ratcheted up a heap. I can't see this game ever getting old. So much fun. :D

Also WOW at the opening cinema.

Is the another case of "Yeah man...Zombiezzzz!!!!!! GOTY bro!!! did i mention there's zombies in it???! Am I cool now because I like zombies???" or is the game really that good? I'm downloading the 360 demo right now.

to realizing how awesome it is:
